This entry was posted on March 25, 2016 by Emillo Santo.

We share a very personal and interesting relationship with our shoes and selecting a pair of shoes is like choosing a friend. So, we always want the best for ourselves. In this regard, nothing can be more comforting and understanding than a custom handmade shoe because it is crafted for a particular person. However, custom handmade shoes are quite expensive, so it is best to know what you exactly want while placing an order. There are certain points to be kept in mind before you zero in on a particular handmade shoe to avoid any kind of issues in future.

Points to be Considered

The condition of the leather- the raw material of the shoe is one of the most important things to consider before buying a custom handmade shoe. Then again knowing and being able to differentiate between excellent, good or faux leather is a skill that you derive with time and experience. Manufacturers like Emillo produce high quality Italian custom handmade shoes with calf skin leather which is the best raw material for handmade shoes.

The reputation of the company- while buying a handmade shoe it is important to find out the reputation of the manufacturer. You can either seek reference from people you know or surf through the internet to know about different manufacturers. Going through the testimonial section is a good idea to find out about the products of a particular manufacturer. Since, big money is involved in buying custom made shoes; it is good to do some background research.

The appearance or design of the shoe- a shoe is easier to analyze by looking at the parts in separation from the entire product. Lace or buckle closure, toe shape and waist are some of the important factors to be considered before buying a custom designed handmade shoe. Analyzing these points will provide a clear idea about which design you want and you will be comfortable in.

Style quotient of the shoe- shoes define a man’s personal taste and therefore a comfortable, snug fit and stylish shoe will enhance the personality which can otherwise be compromised. For instance, the toe shape of a shoe must not point upwards because that does not look classy or chic. Keep your personality in mind before ordering a custom handmade shoe.

Price of the shoe- price is a significant part of purchasing a good quality shoe. By now we know that custom made shoes cost more than normal run off the mill shoes from the shelf. Be ready to spend a little more than you would otherwise for a good quality custom handmade shoe. This will last almost a lifetime and will also save money in the long run.
